Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1847, Vol. 2 It appears that if two stigma-bearing lobes of a triple or even tripartible style are cut Off, the whole germen may be fertilized by the one left. In such cases, therefore, the pollen tubes from one lobe must be able to penetrate all the cells of the germen. In cases such as I have seen, where both natural and hybrid seeds have been produced in one capsule, I cannot state whether the two sorts of pollen acted through the same or dif ferent lobes. I have in no instance succeeded in Obtaining any multiplicate cross by blending the pollen of two or more kinds intimately before their application. Mr. Knight thought he had given at the same time the curl of one cabbage and the red colour of another to a third variety. My invariable failure in such attempts induces me to think his recollection was inaccurate, 1f he meant that he had done so at one fructification. He might easily have Obtained the twofold features by two successive crosses, but I believe not in one generation by simultaneous application of different pollens: for I do not think that two grains even of the same pollen can get effectual access to the foramen of one and the same ovule. I now understand, nearly at least to my own satisfaction, in what manner the pollen of Rhododendron may in the fertilization of the ovules supersede the pollen of Azalea previously applied because I do not believe that they are always fertilized so soon as has been usually supposed. The stimulus may have been given to the germ or outer coat of the seed-vessel, and yet the fertilization may not have reached the ovule, and the operation which produces a living embryo may remain suspended till a change of weather and a moist atmosphere afford a supply of carbon, or whatever is needful thereto; and therefore that pollen which has perfect affinitytto the plant may develop itself effectually at a later period on a change in the state of the atmos phere; but, when the pollen has once reached and stimulated the foramen, further access will be assuredly denied. I have repeatedly observed in dry seasons the pollen of Rhododendron very parched and seemingly deficient, the stigmas dry, and the germens remain ing for weeks nearly stationary after flowering, as if no seed would be produced; but, upon a change of weather inducing moisture, universal fertility of the pods soon became apparent. I suspect that in such cases the fertilization has remained incom plete from want of the food necessary to the elongation of the tubes. If such views have any foundation in truth, it is possible that, in addition to mere water, a supply of the chemical ingre dients which are the food Of plants to the style may facilitate difficult impregnations. It is certainly desirable, where dry pollen is to be tried, to moisten the stigma to which it is about to be applied.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1846, Vol. 1 This, I think, in most situations might be easily contrived. My own house lies on high ground, and the water is brought from a considerable distance, but yet I found very little of difficulty or of expense in its construction for it must be borne in mind thata small quantity of water is sufficient, and that this, after passing through the stove, might be conveniently used for garden purposes. It must be remembered also that this plan may be added to any existing stove, and that the sole expense will be for the pipe to conduct the stream, and for the labour of the carriage and arrangement of the rock-work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1850, Vol. 5 SO little is the public aware that there exists in England a large class of most beautiful hardy Evergreen shrubs belonging to the genus Berberis, that it has become an object of some importance to bring them into notice. It is not too much to say that among them are shrubs in no degree inferior for ornamental purposes to Laurels and other similar exotic bushes. Some are from the West, some from the East. America has contributed a large number, and has an abundance of others in store to reward the enterprising collector. Nor does the warmer part of Asia yield the palm in this respect. Already a crowd of handsome strangers has reached us through the assistance of the East India Company, and there are probably as many to follow from the temperate mountains of that vast continent. In the following brief account -i have sought to collect what is most worth knowing about them; but extended details have not been introduced, because to have done so would have made this paper more botanical than is desirable in a Horticultural Journal. Let me hope that it will be the means of bringing, to light other as yet unknown species, not less deserving of culti vation than the best of those here spoken of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1848, Vol. 3 Before the reign of Elizabeth it would not seem that the laying out of grounds, or even horticulture itself, in the strict sense of the word, had been made the subject of any treatise. That records of the Opinions and habits of our ancestors on these matters exist in old mss., although not reduced therein to any regular system, there is little reason to doubt; and, as regards horticulture, it would assuredly repay any person who may have the leisure if he should ascertain successfully what were the indigenous plants, and especially vegetables, of this country, tracing carefully the introduction of others into general use. Such information must exist in the British Museum and in other libraries in which the older mss. Are preserved. It would doubtless be a laborious work. Hundreds of pages must be searched with comparatively few though valuable results; yet the whole result would be as instructive as gratifying.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London, Vol. 2 The Society feels a just pride in the protection, which Her Majesty has graciously afforded it, by having become its Patroness: nor less gratification in the remembrance of the lamented Princess Charlotte, who had condescended to be named an Honorary Member. The same place is still occupied by her illustrious Consort, Prince Leopold, whose virtues as well as whose knowledge make him a splendid ornament to the Society. But even in foreign countries, the Society has excited attention, which is strikingly proved by the circumstance, that a Sovereign Prince of Germany (His Royal Highness, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar) has honoured it with an application, to be enrolled among its Members. If the external state of the Society is so satisfactory, the internal concerns will not appear to be less so to those, who have an opportunity of observing them. They partly lie open to the judgment of the publick, in the increased number of written communications, of which the Transactions furnish the result, in the frequent and various exhibitions of produce, at the meetings, and the supply of seeds, grafts, and plants, which are distributed. A connection has, for these purposes, been established with almost every part of the globe, by means of the Corresponding Members, which have lately been instituted. Their number is daily augmenting, and very essential advantages may be expected from an intercourse, by which not only much useful information is imparted, but the fruits of the earth transferred to our soil, from the most distant quarters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1896-7, Vol. 20 I adopt the plan of placing pieces of tough fibrous loam or peat when planting and surfacing around the stem of the plants so as to encircle each plant this prevents any superfluous moisture settling at the base or collar of the plants through watering and syringing during the season, which so often pro duces canker, thereby causing the death of the plant and loss of the crop. From 2 feet 6 inches to 3 feet apart is a good distance for house work, and for pits and frames one plant placed in the centre of each light will be sufficient, as this distance allows the plants to extend without the growth being crowded - a most im portant point to be considered. Regulating the growth - Train the plants to a neat stake until the trellis is reached; rub Off all growths as they show from the stem below the trellis train the growths right and left and allow the leading stem to grow up without stopping to within a foot of the top. If the side shoots are likely to be crowded, pinch out some at first sight, as the Melon will not endure thinning so severely as the Cucumber; therefore the growths should be stopped and thinned early enough for those remaining to just cover the trellis with well-developed foliage and no more.

Either the leaves alter their position so as to exhibit a totally different appearance, or the flowers close more or less partially; either phenomenon taking place within certain fixed limits of time and circumstance. It is to the former of these cases that our author has directed his attention, as, in his opinion, more strictly allied to the periodic rest which is so essential to the sustenance of animal life in health and vigour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London, 1898, Vol. 22 Geographically considered, California is one of the most favoured districts on the American continent. The Pacific Ocean washes its entire western shore. To the east lie several lesser ranges of mountains, backed up by the Rockies. The Oregon State line is a continuation of California northward, while to the south, genial and balmy Mexico abuts in such a friendly way that the traveller must needs inquire where one country ends and the other begins. Thus it is that, tempered by warm trade winds from the ocean, and lofty mountain ranges protecting us from the East - where the land is frozen in winter and scorched in summer - Nature has smiled upon us and placed every possible need of mankind within our reach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1908, Vol. 33: Parts I and II By tendency to vary, he evidently means Response to the direct' action Of the new conditions Of life. TO judge from the past, had Darwin lived until today, he would have become assured that Definite Results are not only plentiful but universal; and that Indefinite Results - among which the majority are Injurious variations - do not occur at all under any new conditions Of life in nature so that New sub-varieties, and we may add varieties, species, and genera, are, in fact, always produced without the aid Of natural selection. The reader will perceive that, unlike Darwinism, Darwin himself conclusively shows that this alternative interpretation of the Origin Of Species is no theory at all, but represents the true Natural Law Of Evolution.
